What is ISO 45001?

ISO 45001 is a rigorous international standard for health and safety that is applicable to business of all sizes, industry and operational scope.

The standard enables businesses to integrate certain health and safety aspects through their respective Occupational Health Systems and ensures that specific requirements are met in order to be compliant with all relevant health and safety legislation.

ISO 45001 certification provides the vital framework, structure and information that businesses need to improve their occupational health and safety performance in order to prevent workplace injury and health issues and improve the overall wellbeing and happiness of its employees.

History Of ISO 45001

ISO 45001 certification helps organisations to establish an effective OH&S management system which in turn allows them to better manage risks, prevent accidents and meet the legal requirements needed to keep their employees safe.

Executing the requirements can be a challenging, time consuming and demanding process which is where JR Consultants can help. Our team are experts in ISO and provide businesses with the guidance, knowledge and advice the need to identify the objectives and processes they need to implement and address.

Following the implementation of the required ISO 45001 standards, a certified body is required to perform an official audit which allows them to determine if the organisation is fully compliant with the requirements of the standard. If successful, the result is ISO 45001 certification or being ‘ISO 45001 certified.

Certification lasts for 3 years and will be subject to mandatory audits every 12 months to ensure that the business remains compliant. At the end of the 3 years, the business will be required to complete a reassessment audit in order to become recertified to the standard.

What are the Differences Between OHSAS 18001 and ISO 45001?

OH&S is no longer considered a ‘stand-alone’ but rather an integral part of running a safe, effective and sustainable organisation. Although OHSAS 18001 was a beneficial standard, like most things it required updating over time in order to be suitable for the modern day work environments which is why it was replaced with ISO 45001. Although both the standards do share a certain amount of ‘DNA and similarities, they differ in their approach.

Some of the main differences between OHSAS 18001 and ISO 45001 are;

Although there is without doubt a significant shift in the way that health and safety management is perceived, the overall aim of ISO 45001 has not altered from that of 18001 – to ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of those involved with the organisation by reducing risks and improving overall working conditions.

ISO 45001 Requirements

In order to meet the required standards of ISO 45001, businesses need to successfully implement the suggested framework, processes, practices and systems.

Working on the principles of ‘Plan – Do – Act – Check’ also referred to as the PDAC cycle, this concept is a vital undertaking to ensure the continuous evaluating and improving of processes and procedures at every stage.

The standard requires that not only OH&S risks be addressed and controlled but that the OH&S management system itself takes a risk based approach. This helps to ensure that it is being continuously improved on to effectively meet and adapt to the organisations ever evolving context.

Is it Mandatory for Businesses to Have ISO 45001?

What is ISO 45001?

ISO 45001 is the International Standard for occupational health and safety (OH&S) management systems. Globally every year, millions of deaths are attributed to occupational accidents as well as hundreds of millions of non-fatal injuries, some of which can be devastating.

ISO 45001 was developed to help organisations to proactively improve their OH&S processes and procedures to develop and integrate key areas of health and safety. In order to provide a safe, healthy environment for employees, customers and visitors, ISO 45001 focuses strongly on risk management and identifying factors that could potentially cause harm, injury, illness or even death.

This robust standard is suitable for businesses of all sizes, scope and across various industries, delivering a clear pathway to better, safer and more effective occupational health and safety measures.

Some of the many benefits of certification to ISO 45001 include;

  • Improved Risk Management

Through the early identification of potential risks or issues, organisations are able to implement effective measures and controls to ensure that risks are kept low, protecting employees and customers from harm.

  • Lower Operating Costs

Due to the reduction of work related illnesses and injuries, there are less legal fees, lower turnover rates, less compensation to pay out, lower insurance premiums and less down-time which all saves the business money.

  • Legal Compliance

Certification provides a clear framework for organisations to manage their legal and regulatory obligations whilst also helping them to fully understand how the requirements impact the business and its customers.

  • Improved Relationships and Reputation

Compliance to ISO 45001 demonstrates to those both internally and externally that you are serious about protecting people which instils confidence in employees, customers and suppliers that you take health and safety seriously.

  • International Hallmark Of Quality

Certification to ISO 45001 provides organisations with a clear, independent verification that is internationally recognised.

If you want to be able to clearly demonstrate your commitment to managing the health and safety of your employees, customers and visitors, then ISO 45001 could be vital. Even if you have what might be considered an effective OH&S management system in place, there’s no need to start from scratch as this standard can be integrated seamlessly with it to deliver;

  • A defined framework for management structures which work to clearly identify authority and responsibilities within the organisation.
  • Clear objectives for the development, improvement and enhancement of processes and procedures with measurable results.
  • A structured approach to risk assessment and the subsequent reduction of illnesses, incidents and injuries.
